BORO soccer star Robbie Stockdale went back to his old school to open its new library.

The young Middlesbrough FC favourite reminisced about his schooldays with young fans at Errington Primary School, on Windy Hill Lane, Marske and told them about life as a Premiership footballer.

He also cut a ribbon to officially open the library.

The opening coincided with the school's book week and has given parents the chance to buy a book and add it to the library.

Headteacher Christine Stinson said Robbie was a big hit.

The old library has been extended into two rooms. Ms Stinson said: "The library is already a great success," she said. "It's painted red, blue, green and yellow, smashing vibrant colours.

"We're really, really pleased with the environment that's been created."
